Hand Loomed Alpaca Shoulder Bag, "Cool Valleys"
The patterns on this beautiful 100% alpaca shoulder bag are inspired by ancient Inca motifs. The bag is crafted entirely by hand by the artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco. They raise the alpacas and llamas to obtain the fleece; shear, dye and spin the wool; and weave the textile on a traditional waist loom. The fully-lined bag closes with a zipper and features an adjustable strap and an interior zipper pocket.

"A piece of art to wear"
This is an exceptionally beautiful work of art that doubles as clothing. It is a dense weave and not cuddly soft, rather more substantial. It has outstanding workmanship. I cant even imagine how complicated this is to create on a backstrap loom .
